DNA India quotes Wu in article on health benefits of blueberries
Vivian Chi-Hua Wu, a professor of microbiology and food safety at the University of Maine, was quoted in a DNA India article that listed seven health benefits of blueberries. One of the listed benefits of the superfood is that it improves digestion. “Addition of wild blueberries to diet can alter the balance of gut microbe in favor of members of the Actinobacteria phylum,” said Wu, whose research found the berries can stimulate growth of good bacteria and their soluble and insoluble fibers help regulate the gastrointestinal tract, according to the article.
